Hi! The Conn and the Zephyr are American bores. Saxes have chokes in their bore just like a shotgun. American bores are basically a cone with a slight choke right before the bow at the bottom of the tube. The yamahas and the signet are all based off the Selmer Mark VI, THE most famous sax, period. It has a double choke; they squeezed the cone at the top right after the neck and again at the bottom. The result is a more complex sound, richer in harmonics. I taught band for 36 years and made my extra $ over those years playing in rock and jazz bands. I played a 1970 Zephyr for 20 years. It's a good playable horn. I bought a used Selmer VI about the last 26 years. No comparison in range of sound. The Selmer Signet and Yamaha AS1 are student horns. They are less sensitive and made to play in the middle of the road. The Conn and Zephyr are intermediate/ beginning pro horns. Harder to initially control, but once the player masters them, the player can play MUCH more expressively! If the pads are in good shape, I'd lean towards the Zephyr, followed by the Yamaha, the Signet and the Conn. I hope this gives you something to discuss with your son. He might want to check out the forum Sax on the net. Lots of info to digest! Dave
